So far I’m a little over a month post op. I’m ecstatic over my results. I have wanted implants since I was a teenager, and I figured that 32 was a good age to finally take the plunge. I also highly recommend Jason Wright. As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.
My surgery was today! I’ve been wanting to get breasts for years. I’m 30 years old, with two children, and decided it’s finally time. I had a consultation with Dr. Wright a few months ago after being referred by a couple of friends. The consultation did feel a bit rushed, but I liked his work and had confidence in his abilities. I really want a natural look, and having a very small frame I was afraid of going too big. About a week and a half before surgery I tried on sizers again and opted for 325-350 mentor moderate plus implants. Today was surgery day! I love that the surgery center is at the medspa. The nurses were sooo friendly and professional and made me feel very comfortable. When the Dr. came in before surgery we talked once more about sizing and results and I went into surgery confidently. Everything went smoothly and I woke up feeling great. Dr. Wright ended up using 295 ccs in the left and 325 ccs on the right, and as of now, I’m happy with the choice to go smaller because I think it fits my body better. My chest feels super tight but the pain isn’t unbearable and I am taking the pain meds as prescribed, as well as using ice on and off. I called with a couple of questions after surgery and got immediate calls back from both my surgeon and the nurse. I was a bundle of nerves this morning and right now I am 100% happy with my decision to do this! Updated on 30 Jan 2021: So yesterday the pain was the worst...today I feel so much better! Swelling has gone down a ton. I have minimal bruising at the incision sites and so far they’re looking great! Trying not to overdo it and strain myself..I think the recovery would be harder if I had gone bigger. Updated on 2 Feb 2021: I had my first post op appt today and I’m healing so well! Dr. said I can stop wearing the band and I no longer have to sleep upright. Tried on a couple bras and right now I’m at a 32 DD which blew my mind because they don’t seem that big. I couldn’t be happier with how they’re looking and I can’t wait until it warms up so I can show them off more lol. 100% would do it again they just keep getting better and better. Updated on 3 Mar 2021: So it’s been just over a month and I am loving my new boobs. Swelling has gone down a ton and they are starting to soften more. Can’t wait for them to drop more! Scars are fading a ton, I’ve been using mederma. I massage daily and got the clear to pretty much do anything that feels comfortable. I have no pain anymore whatsoever, I did have tenderness beneath my breasts over my ribs up until about a week ago. My dr put 325 cc in my right breast and it feels bigger to the touch but they look pretty symmetrical. The right side is dropping faster. Still have stitches dissolving, I have been able to feel the incisions go down as they dissolve more and more. Updated on 18 Mar 2021: They’ve gotten a lot softer and they finally feel like part of my body! Honestly I wish I had done it sooner I have absolutely no regrets. Right is still dropping faster than left but I’m not worried about it this early on. Updated on 25 Oct 2021: Ok it’s been a long time since I updated! I’m 9 months post op and I think they’re about as settled as they will get. First off…I absolutely love them. They have made me feel more confident and feminine. I’ve noticed I get more attention from men ???? clothes fit me and I can wear pretty much anything. Second…there are imperfections. My right breast is slightly larger and lower than my left. At first this really bothered me…but now I feel like it makes them look more natural. My scars are barely visible. I started with basically no breast tissue, so when I raise my arms they are very obviously fake. Minor problem to have. I did a ton of research before my surgery and read so many reviews so I think I went into it with realistic expectations. I will always have a gap between my breasts…that’s just how I’m built…as are a lot of women. This wasn’t really apparent until after my surgery. Another thing I love is that I don’t have to wear a bra all the time. This summer I wore pasties most days. Chest workouts feel super strange and I don’t like doing them at all. Overall I am extremely happy with my results and I would absolutely do it again!
Mom of 3, breast fed each child which left my breasts feeling deflated and my self confidence deflated as well. After pondering the huge decision for years I finally decided it was now or never. I am so thankful I went through with it, the decision has been life changing. I am much happier with what I see in the mirror now! The recovery was not bad at all. Day one and two were uncomfortable due to the ace bandage being bound so tight, but once it came off and I could shower I felt pretty good. By day three I was pretty much back into the swing of things. I think if you are typically a routine based, positive person your recovery will go pretty smoothly. I am unable to take the heavy duty narcotics (make me sick) so I had Tylenol 3 and Valium which worked great for me. They are still in the process of dropping but so far I think they look pretty good. I thought 450cc would be far too big on my 5'8" 122lb frame but I think they look proportional. My dr. and I discussed sizes between 350-450 and I told him to just figure it out when he got in there, but that I wanted a natural look. I was on the fence about subfascial or subpectoral and am so glad that I went under the muscle, I think in the long run it will be much better too. My only minor complaint in the 11 days post surgery has been the fact that my nipples are sore (much like they were when I nursed). I have been putting nursing cream on them which helps. Good luck to you ladies contemplating it. I understand what you are going through. I am super glad I did it, wish I had done it earlier. I hope this helps put you at ease. My doctor and his staff were simply the best. Highly recommend him. He is a perfectionist, super professional, and extremely personal and friendly which put me at ease in this crazy decision.
I'm 33 years old 5'5", 165 lbs, current bra size 36 D. My husband and I have decided not to have anymore children so this is my green light to start the search for a Dr to do my breast lift. I developed breasts very early. I had to wear a bra in 4th grade and got teased by all the boys. Sometimes I wouldn't wear a bra so the boys wouldn't tease me and then the girls would tease me and tell me it was "gross" I didn't have a bra on... Kids are so mean! :). Anywho, I kept waiting for my breasts to look "normal" so the nipples were pointing up but they were ALWAYS saggy! When I was 19 I worked at a nursing home and I remember bathing some old ladies and they had nicer breasts than me!! I would be jealous of an 80 year old woman's boobs!!!! I feel like my breasts have held me back so much in my life. They have affected my love life, my marriage, my confidence. I feel like I've never been able to experience what it truly feels like to be a woman. The breasts are such a huge part of femininity. I know this is TMI but I've never been able to make love on top and feel proud and beautiful, I've always wore my bra or had the lights off. Maybe I'm being dramatic but I think a lot of the women on here can relate to me. Also..... My breasts are heavy and the way they droop down it is painful to walk around without my bra on. I just hate my breasts sooooooo much and I soooo hope that I find the right Dr that can help me. I worry my breast will still point down, my nipples won't be high enough or they will still be very differently shaped after surgery. I guess I have very high hopes and don't want to look even worse....Here are some pics of my breasts now. I would like to lose at least 20 lbs and weigh at least 140 when I get my breasts so I have to start dieting as well. Updated on 1 Dec 2013: I wanted to take a pic of breasts with the camera facing me. It's weird how different angles and mirrors can show just how different they are. It makes me so sad to look at this pic cause I haven't seen women on here with breasts this different. I'm so scared I'll still have deformed breasts even after surgery :( Updated on 1 Dec 2013: Since I took that pic last night I've been so upset. I really am deformed! I have two arms, two legs and from the outside (with clothes) I look healthy but really I was born with a breast deformity and I've lived with it and dealt with this for so long. My breasts have affected my quality of life sooooo much! Ok so some people may say it's because I let them affect me but those people don't have breasts like me. I have NEVER felt comfortable looking at myself in the mirror naked, NEVER felt comfortable without a bra on, NEVER felt comfortable making love....EVER!!! All because of these ugly breasts....especially my left breast....that one is the deformed one and of course the one my husband (and old b.f's) always gravitated to since they were all right handed...Guess I should have dated lefties... :). I am totally have a pity party right now!!!! I just want to get out all of my frustrations here, a lifetime of frustration has been culminating in me since my breasts starting growing... A friggin lifetime!! IT'S NOT FAIR!!! Why out of all of my friends do I have to be the one with this deformity? And it's not a deformity that is accepted by society. People prob think I am being vain by wanting cosmetic surgery but this has effected my psychosocial health. I wonder if I can get this covered (partially) by insurance? My left breast never developed correctly, it points straight down, I have odd pains in this breast, the nipple is at such a location that it gets pinched by things like my husband elbow when he rolls over in bed or by my clothes when I'm getting dressed it also has a growth that I have had looked at numerous times since I was a senior in highschool and nobody can figure out what it is. I've had like 5 ultrasounds and 1 (very painful) mammogram at the age of 23...and nada info on that damn growth. They just tell me it's not cancerous so just live with it. Ok what else.....Oh yeah! I have to buy bras with padding since my nipples are always looking down or sideways or one up and one down and it's embarrassing! I just want to be able to wear a cute top and walk down the street with my gorgeous big bosoms, nipples pointing straight ahead demanding the attention of every (attractive) male!!! :) Ok I know that may sound crazy!! But I want so badly for my breasts to match the rest of me. Not saying I'm some super hot woman but I used to be think with long blonde hair and no stretch marks on my belly... I used to work out hard and eat organic and was a strict vegan because I was so conscious of my health. Even back then with my ugly breasts I still at least tried to look good. Now I have had a child (the best thing in my life) and of course my tummy had to get covered in stretch marks so now I have hideous boobs and a tummy that no matter what I do cannnot ever be bikini ready. I feel like "why try" anymore and I just eat now and drink too much wine and I really feel like I am unattractive...that no matter what I do I cannot be beautiful. I will never be able to amaze a man with my gorgeous feminine figure, I will never be able to wear a bikini again and sun bathe and feel comfortable..... OK I am done I think. I know much of that is very negative and crazy sounding but I had to get it out. Also I know it may not make sense and it probably has tons of errors but I was rambling. Please don't say anything mean to me, I feel like this site is a safe place and that I can be vulnerable here. Heck I am already showing you all the thing that has bothered me so much in my life, the thing that even my husband doesn't see. The thing that I am so ashamed and embarrassed of. Updated on 14 Mar 2014: Hello all!! Well I had a consult with Dr. Salemy of Seattle. He comes to the tri cities every few months to do consults. I've met 3 women who have had their breasts done by him that are clients of mine and they LOVED the results and they all 3 raved about how wonderfully the office treated them so I decided to try him out. He was extremely kind and warm, he's not awkward and lacking social skills like some docs :). I got very emotional before reveiling my breasts to him and he was understanding and very patient with me. He actually helped me heal a little by the way he responded to my breasts saying that they are NORMAL big ole breasts! Lol So anywho let's get down to the nitty gritty... He said He would like to do a lift only. Said I have enough of my own tissue that I wouldnt require an implant. Whew! This makes me happy cause healing will be quicker and the cost will be less as well plus it's just one less thing to worry about coming out right. The price is gonna be around $7,000 and In cool with that too. I will need a breast reduction on the right breast but he is not charging extra for that cause he said it would be very minimal. This summer is going to be so busy and I have 1 bill I want paid off before I do this so I'm planning for the end of summer... September/October-ish. October 19th is my bday so maybe I'll do it in October for my bday gift! So excited!!! Updated on 1 Dec 2016: My surgery date is December 17th! Only a couple more weeks to go! I am getting a breast lift and possibly some lipo to my left flank(it has a substantial bulge that doesn't match the right side). Everyone I know tells me to get implants too but honestly... I've had boobs since 4th grade! I'm actually excited to have smaller breasts and not feel this heaviness. I was hoping to be thinner but I'm going to push to lose 10lbs these next couple weeks. Not the healthiest but- I really want my Dr to lift these suckers up and I want to be as close to my goal weight as possible as not to cause more sagginess when I do get to my goal of 135. I'll post more updates once the surgery is done. I want to thank everyone for being so kind and letting me get pretty dramatic these past couple years. It's felt so good to get these vulnerable emotions out and be so supported by all of you! :) Updated on 25 Feb 2017: We're driving to get my breast lift done by Dr. Wright in Pasco, WA! I'm so nervous and excited. It's such a weird feeling. This is something I've wanted since I grew boobs! I was so excited this morning that I wrote a new review instead of updating to this review. So I think I'll keep adding to this one. Welp, I'll keep you updated!!!! Say goodbye to my old gals! Updated on 25 Feb 2017: That took forever! He's like an artist with a sculpture! So excited and nervous! Updated on 25 Feb 2017: Surgery took around 3-4 hours. Not sure yet as I'm out of it. I woke up STARVING!!! I wonder if this is normal? My boyfriend is taking such great care of me, I don't know what I would do without him! I'm wrapped up nice and tight and want to look so bad but I have to wait till tomorrow at the post op. See you all tomorrow! Updated on 25 Feb 2017: I know the staff pretty well here so I had them take photos of me during the surgery. Here they are! Geez this bi Dee I have on is soo tight and the tape is itchy but I have to keep it on. Looking at the photos I see why. Updated on 26 Feb 2017: I love them!!!! I can't believe Dr. Wright could get them sooo perky! He ended up doing a breast reduction on my right breast, he took double the tissue he took from the left to give me the perky look I wanted. I showed him photos of breast lifts and what I liked before the surgery. He told me that what I wanted in nipple placement was slightly higher than he usually does. He ended up going a little higher for me and I love it!! It's so nice to have nipples that I can see when I look down at my breasts. I'm just lounging around today, letting my sweet boyfriend take care of me. (Since I first started this review back in 2013 I got divorced and now have the nicest man as my main squeeze :). I'm going to try to go back to work tomorrow but this maybe a bad idea.... I'll make that decision later this evening. Updated on 26 Feb 2017: We went to Walgreens and got some peroxide, Bacitracin, bandages and tape. I'm supposed to clean the areas with a mixture of half water and half peroxide, cover with Bacitracin and more bandages. He also gave me some nitro cream to help the blood flow to my left nipple as that side has some bruising and looks darker colored than the other side. Updated on 27 Feb 2017: Here is my routine 3 times a day Updated on 1 Mar 2017: I tried going to work and that was a huge mistake! Started feeling terrible so my boss sent me home to rest. I've always prided myself on being self sufficient and tough... I didn't realize how much this surgery would take out of me. I feel bad not being at work but I really need to rest and the staff is all so supportive. We were worried about my left nipple but there is blood flow there. So much bruising it was hard to tell if there was capillary refill. Updated on 1 Mar 2017: My dark left nipple started to bleed today while cleansing so that is a good sign! I have been using nitro paste multiple times a day plus heat and ice on opposing sides of my breast to get that blood flow moving. We also injected my PRP under this nipple to see if that would help. So far everything looks like it's going to heal! I'm home today resting and letting myself lay around. I'm not used to doing nothing so it's been hard but I have to do it so my body can focus on the big job of healing these boobies!!! Here are some photos from today!
Before your treatment the best thing you can do is hydrate. Sculpsure can be quite tender and people have different amounts of nerve endings which can increase the discomfort. The treatment discomfort is really managed by your treating provider as they are able to help control the amount of heat and thus discomfort felt. I typically do not recommend or use sedatives or anxiolytics prior to the treatment. So, just hydrate prior and talk with your provider during the treatment to help keep your treatment discomfort in a manageable range.
